Zoom!

Made in Hollywood by the British director of Thunderpants, Zoom is the second Tim Allen film this past month, and you'd need a pair of jeweller's scales to determine which one is worse. In The Santa Clause 3 he played Father Christmas. Here he's a former child superhero recalled from retirement to train a team of new child heroes to use their special powers (stupendous strength, invisibility, telekinesis, infinite physical mutability) to defeat a renegade former juvenile superhero about to return from another planet to threaten our world. The training takes over an hour, the dull climax is over in minutes. It's like the longest run up the wicket you ever saw followed by the bowling of a slow wide. Santa trapped in a chimney and choking on his own beard would be funnier than this.
